"Do you want to be in love again?"
"Gosh, no. Love is an amazing feeling in the beginning, but then it turns into a nightmare the longer it goes on. And that nightmare drags on even after the relationship ends."
"How? If the relationship is over, how does the nightmare continue?"
"Love gives you hope. It gave me hope. It made me believe that I was finally going to be happy, and I finally found someone who wouldn't leave. It made me hope that one day, it would all be alright. Then when the nightmare sweeps in and the arguments start, that hope gets slowly taken away. So slowly that sometimes you don't even notice. You get so caught up in the drama, the silence, the brokenness of the nightmare surrounding you that you can't tell that hope is slowly abandoning you. Then suddenly, after the relationship is over, it hits you like a truck. The overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and defeat crashes down on you, and never leaves. That's the worst part of it all. Waking up every day, realizing that you're completely alone, and anything you ever hoped for had been taken away. Every argument you had, every mistake made in that relationship haunts you. It causes so much self hate, so much pain, and mostly, it makes you wonder why you try at all"
